360 degree panorama photo

Im trying to make a seamless 360 degree panorama that plays on iphone or ipad browser. So I need to use some kind of jquery or javascript. I dont know a whole ton of code, I hope maybe someone can point me in the right direction..

Thanks.
 
I don't fully understand what it is you're trying to do.

- Do you have a panoramic photo already, or do you need to do the stitching as well- Is it 360 degrees is the pan (horizontal) direction only, or 360 degrees in both the pan and tilt (vertical) directions? This won't change much other than controls and how you need to loop your stitching if the panning and tilting is to be controlled.

I have a couple of suggestions:

OpenCV is an open-source library which has been used on smart phones before. It has some image stitching capabilities built into it, but you can also develop your own. It has support for a wide variety of programming languages. There is good community support for OpenCV at their Yahoo Groups page.

OpenGL is most likely what you will need to use in order to display the panning and tilting. I have no idea about how to deal with this on websites, smart phones, or any non-Windows or -Linux computer, so I can't help you much there. OpenGL is built into most systems by default.

I think Panotools is compatible with smart phone applications. They are open-source, but a bit more difficult to dive into.

With all of these tools, I'm not sure if you can implement them in Javascript or some other online programming language as I've never needed to try this. You should be able to use these as starting points at least.

Good luck.
 
rob its for a client that builds homes. it would be 360 horizontal pan. The main use is web but wants it to be viewed on windows and mac. I have photoshop so stitching was easy. I found a program that has a nice user interface that does both flash and html5. http://www.easypano.com/ if anyone is interested
